Rima Patel, MD, MS

Physician. MS, Health Policy. Health AI, regulation, and the architecture around digital care.

Rima works where clinical care, policy, and technology actually meet — not where they are advertised to meet. She holds an MD and an MS in Health Policy, advises through GLG, and spends her time with operators, investors, and health-tech teams on the question of what evidence, regulation, and a real workflow will bear. She co-founded Heart to Soul in Action, a nonprofit built around healthcare mentorship and acceleration.
